Pears and many apple varieties (with peel) are good sources for antioxidants. So are other fruits, such as grapes and most citrus fruits. Eat more stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, plums and prunes) and tropical fruits (banana, kiwi, mango, papaya and pineapple). Even pomegranate and olives contribute.
